yoga & Pregnancy: Better Together

During pregnancy, your body is in an apparent state of flux every single day. You may feel the transformational pains-of being pregnant, and perhaps you feel completely uncomfortable in your own body. Practicing yoga gives you the chance to find ease in this transformation.

"After taking Anastasia's prenatal yoga class, I'm confident that I have the strength to get through labor" --Lindsey, yoga student

As the muscles of your pelvic floor stretch to hold the weight of your growing baby, it's essential to practice yoga poses that strengthen and tone these muscles. My prenatal yoga classes are designed to first increase your awareness of the pelvic floor muscles, and then to teach you to consciously tighten and release these muscles in preparation for childbirth and postpartum recovery, even if you're not planning a vaginal birth.

Of course this is not just a time for physical transformation! As your family grows, and your entire world transitions to welcome this new life, it's an ideal time to practice loving self-care throughout this momentous shift. By setting these healthy habits now, you're passing them on to your baby before s/he even arrives.
